Just in time....
One year ago today, I started this blog. I think I've had quite a lot to say in the past year, and it's made me realise just how far I've come in that time. Not only in knitting, but in life too. I'm really glad I stuck with this idea, and I hope to continue it for quite a long time. The blog will be moving soon thanks to a very generous and wonderful friend who was able to hook me up with some webspace, so I will keep my readers posted (the few of you that there are). Once I'm done with my dissertation (10 days to go!) I will put my energy into this project.
Happy birthday blog! :)
Quick project
Mary Jane slippers:
Pattern: Julie Carter's
Plain JanesYarn: Patons Classic Merino...maybe 2/3 of the skein
Very quick knit, even for my very slow ways. I messed up a little bit and as a consequence the little "seam" made from switching between the knitting and purling ended up on the right side of both slippers. I blame it on my dissertation-related brain damage. But I'm quite happy with them, and they're very warm! I need to decide if I want to put some non-skid stuff on the bottom, but I confess to being enticed by having something I can skate around smoothe surfaces with. *blush*
DW pattern is now available in Spanish!
I got an email from a woman in Spain, Carla, who asked me if she could translate my wrist warmer pattern so she can post it for Spanish knitters. I thought this was a lovely idea, and I'm happy to say that it is now available to download in PDF format
HERE.Thank you very much, Carla!
ETA: I have also fixed a few things in my original pattern including a much nicer looking chart, so please download the new one if you want to see the latest version!
